The possibility than a human being may influence his or her environment ‘directly’ (i.e., through nothing more than an exertion of the will) has been explored in several different ways throughout human existence. The pre-scientific instances fall squarely under the category of ‘magic’, while the more modern approach deals with psionics, the paranormal potential of the human mind.
The most primitive examples, still practiced in some cultures to this day, typically revolve around an individual who is seen as exceptionally gifted and/or trained to produce paranormal acts. It is difficult to completely link the practice of magic with the current conception of psionics, because so many of the practices of magic involved some kind of interaction with the physical world, from elaborate rituals to simple gestures or spoken words. However, the fundamental relationship is similar: the individual utilizes forces outside the usual cause-and-effect relationship between the physical body and its environment.
Scientific validity remained a holy grail for those who were convinced that the will could be harnessed without resorting to superstition. Indeed, philosophers of the 19th and 20th century such as Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Kant, and several others provided a stepping stone from the primitive concept of a spirit or soul to the modern concept of mind and identity. Nietzche particularly advocated development to the point where the will alone was sufficient to overcome obstacles and achieve human potential.
Modern theories largely rest upon the ‘untapped’ potential of the brain or body. These talents may manifest as extra-sensory perception (ESP), telekinesis, teleportation, precognition, clairvoyance, and many others (my personal favorite is clairaliance and clairgustance, which allows the talented individual to smell far-off or otherworldly smells or tastes, respectively) . A related field of study focuses on the paranormal physical abilities, or ‘superpowers’ than some claim may be latent in some or all human beings.
